This application adds multiple additional keyboard layouts (for SFOS 3 & 4, i486, armv7hl, aarch64) :

1- Improved layouts (for English, English Azerty, French and Arabic/العربية):

  • Number row
  • Wider space button
  • Emojis on 2nd/3rd pages
  • Arrow keys (right/left) on 2nd/3rd pages
  • Popup symbols on the layout
  • Standard layouts similar to iOS/Android

2- Layouts with a number row: English, English Azerty, French, Arabic (العربية), German (Deutsch) and Dutch (thanks to aerique)

3- Arabic layout العربية

The new keyboard layouts should work automatically after installation (you can choose them from Settings). However, if a layout doesn't show up, try one of the following options : 1) restart the device, 2) use Sailfish Utilities to restart Home Screen using Sailfish Utilities, or 3) from the terminal in developer mode, login as root (devel-su), then type : killall maliit-server

Could we add English Improved without number row? Not a big fan of extra row appearing when switching with other language layouts.

Unfortunately, there are no more keys i can tweak to add emojis. You can use the emoji keyboard that ships with SFOS for all supported emojis.

I've released version 0.7.1 which fixes the issues with numbers 1 and 0 in Android apps which now will work. Please note that the arrow key actions (back/forward in text) only work in SFOS apps.

Thx for the app. Am using the German Keyboard with numbers. Seems to work so far on my XA2 running SFOS 4.0.1.48 (Koli).

Hi! I would like to contribute, but I would need some help to understand, how the XT9 system works. How can we get in direct contact?

You can propose a merge request on github with your layout. I'm not familiar with Chinese language to make one.

As you probably know, both openrepos 'apostrophe' patches don't work (sfos3.2.0.12)

Please add apostrophe everywhere it's missing.

These layouts are based on the default English or French ones. Default English doesn't have an apostrophe on its first page.
I'll sez what I can do. If you want just the apostrophe, there is a patch in openrepo that adds it to the default layouts.

I really appreciate your keyboard. My German layout has numbers as well. But what is superfluous is the numbers on the special character pages. On the first page the numbers are even shown in two rows. You may fill this pages with some common special characters.

Thanks, I am glad you like it. Yes indeed that's a good idea. I'll see what characters could be added in the 2nd page, and make a new version.
